A lion named Jericho, who is known as Cecil the Lion's brother, is feared dead in Zimbabwe today amid conflicting reports about the lion's fate.

The Zimbabwe Conservation Task Force, which is not an official government agency, told ABC News Jericho was shot and killed today at Hwange National Park.

However, a lion researcher told the Associated Press that Jericho's satellite collar has been sending normal signals indicating he is moving around.

"It is with huge disgust and sadness that we have just been informed that Jericho, Cecil's brother has been killed at 4pm today," the Zimbabwe Conservation Task Force said in a Facebook post. "We are absolutely heart broken."

Edit, nvm, I see you've got 'conflicting reports' in there already.
